What does Paris Hilton’s baby’s name mean?
What does Paris Hilton’s baby’s name mean? Paris revealed that her son’s name, Phoenix Barron, has a very special background. In her new memoir, This is Paris, she revealed, “If all goes well, by the time you read this, Carter and I will have a baby boy. We plan to name him Phoenix, a name that I decided on years ago when I was searching cities, countries, and states on a map looking for something to go with Paris and London.”
She continued, “Phoenix has a few good pop culture reference points, but more importantly it’s the bird that flames out and then rises from the ashes to fly again. I want my son to grow up knowing that disaster and triumph go around and come around throughout our lives. And that this should give us great hope for the future.”
His middle name also has a lot of meaning to The Simple Life alum as she named him after her grandfather Barron Hilton. “He was always my mentor. I looked up to my grandfather so much, and we were so close, and I miss him every day,” she explained. “So, I really wanted to honor him by having his name in my first son’s name. So there you go. My beautiful baby boy’s name is Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum.”
In her iHeartRadio podcast, This is Paris, she also confessed that she didn’t want to share the news of her baby before he was born to anyone—not even her family. “As you all know, Carter and I have been blessed with the arrival of our baby boy. He is such a precious angel, and we’re over the moon, so in love with him. We’re just so excited to start our family, and we can’t wait for you to see him.” She was really keen to “keeping everything really private.” She continued, “Not even my mom, my sisters, my best friend knew until he was over a week old. It was really nice to have that with Carter, be our own journey together. I just feel like my life has been so public, and I’ve never really had anything be just mine.”
“So when we were talking about it, I really felt that I wanted this journey to be for us only,” Paris explained, noting it was “hard to keep that in.” She continued, “Because we were so excited and wanted to tell our families, but we were just nervous because if you tell a person, then they tell someone, and all the sudden, it’s in TMZ or Page Six, and I’ve had enough of my life like that,” she continued. “So Carter and I literally made a pact together that we would not tell anyone, and no one knew until just recently.” The first time that Paris’ mom Kathy Hilton met her grandson was a week after he was born. “When I introduced my mom to our baby boy, it was amazing to see the look on her face,” Paris shared. “She was so surprised — just the look on her face, it was priceless.” She concluded with a cute note about her son’s future“We are just so happy and feel so blessed. He is so perfect, and it’s amazing being a mom.”
